Hi!

You say you run potato, so you shouldn't need to boot from CD to update
at all, just update your source (in dselect, with the cdrom method. But
I guess you did that).

sarge is the 'testing' distribution, so it may be broken, especially
when updating from potato or older.

If you have network access from the machine you want to update, you
should update over the network and not use CDs at all.

If you don't mind another big download, I suggest you get the first
woody CD, update potato to woody, and then continue to sarge from there.

If you don't want to download the whole woody CD, you could try just
updating the most important packages - I'm guessing here, but I think
getting the perl and dpkg packages (and their dependencies) from woody
should suffice to get you far enough to be able to update to sarge.

cheers
